Guess I was going through tea-buying withdrawals, and Tealux is having a 25% off sale, so I restocked chocolate delight and secret of love, and ordered samples of maple splash, cream Irish breakfast, white strawberry sassafras, and blue unicorn reserve oolong. Plus I got two of their newly designed tins. Still planning on stopping by DavidsTea next week! ;)

I am probably going to have to place an order too. Need more Pumpkin Spice Rooibos since fall is coming. I really should try my sample of Strawberry Sassafras before I order. I too thought it sounded interesting, and then never tried it.

I"m still new to loose leaf tea, and I’m still trying to figure out exactly what I like. I ordered the IngenuiTEA from Adagio, and a bunch of samples, too. Golden monkey, Ooooh Darjeeling, White Pear, Ceylon Sonata, Rooibos Vanilla, Vanilla, Caramel, Earl Grey Moonlight, Apple, Earl Grey Green, and the Imp’s Brew – one of their fandom blends. I’m planning to try and use the Vanilla, Caramel, and Apple as blenders more than straight teas. I’m really excited to try these out.

Also – am I the only one who thinks of Battlestar Gallactica when they see Ceylon teas? I see it as Cylon every single time! :-)

So, I was planning on ordering from the persimmon tree over the weekend. It was advertised that they were having a 20% off sale; however, it was only 20% some teas, while others were more like 11% off. Anyway, I was going to do it and then saw that shipping was going to cost over $12, and the company is in California, just like me! That seemed way too high, so I didn’t do it. So, I thought about it more, and figured, since there was some % off, that still helps and I didn’t really want to wait until their next sale, so I went back to the site this morning, but the sale was off. So, then I saw if you signed up for their newsletter, you can get 15% off, so I did that and applied my reward points from my previous purchase, which was actually better than what I would have gotten over the weekend, but still didn’t quite offset the shipping cost. I did it anyway. I really like their white teas, so I got white guava, cucumber creme, and I also picked up periwinkle. I just really wish they would find a cheaper shipping option, but I’m still excited to get their teas!

@Tealizzy: yeah I noticed depending on the quantity, some of the prices were more like 10%. I think it might have been their system rather than something intentional. I bought smaller amounts to ensure I got the full 20%.

Picked up a few things from american tea room – Brioche was finally in stock for me to be able to take advantage of their 20% off sale. This way i can stop harassing tastybrew to keep sending me some lol

Okay so I believe myself to be a good girl during all these sale events. I only made 2 orders. One with American Tea Room where I used the 20% off to get 2oz of Brioche tea and the cute White Geisha tin I have been wanting. Then I made an order at 52TEAS for the mayan chocolate chai and Smores chai since they are finally back!!! yay! there I did not use a labor day sale code though sadly:/

So the quickly approaching Fall is making me crave dessert teas all of a sudden. So I decided this would be a good time to try out Della Terra. I’ve been curious about them for a while, but because I’m not really super into flavored teas, I figured an order consisting purely of them wouldn’t really be worth it. So now’s the time to try! :)
